This evaluation is of the new Cordless Go-Anywhere Portable Pressure Washer (model SPX6001C) from Sun Joe ® (part of the Snow Joe ® business), a battery-powered pressure washer that integrates a water bucket so you don’t require to hook it approximately a spigot. Here’s what we discovered.

Battery Capacity: 4.0 Ah (Amp hours).
Charge Time Max: Approximately 3 hours.
Battery Run Time Max: Approximately 21 minutes.
Motor: 600 Watt (brushless).

Pressure Selections:.
Low– 500 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch).
Medium– 650 PSI.
High– 800 PSI.
Max Pressure: 1160 PSI (This is the maximum pressure the pump is ranked for but not the functional pressure (the unit tops out at 800 PSI). Producers de-tune limit pressures so as not to stress out the pump prematurely).
Setting Expectations.
With a maximum functional pressure of 800 PSI and a low circulation rate (0.79 GPM), this system would more precisely be called a power cleaner, rather than a pressure washer. The specifications are equivalent to other battery-powered washers (such as the WORX Hydroshot), but don’t expect it to have the very same performance as you ‘d receive from an electrical (corded) pressure washer. The PSI on customer grade corded (and gas) systems normally ranges from 1400 to 2200 PSI, while circulation rate is better to 2 GPM.
With that said, let’s take a better take a look at the Sun Joe ® Cordless Go-Anywhere Portable Pressure Washer.
PACKAGING.
The system is packaged in a strong, well-made cardboard box. Graphics surround the beyond the box (other than the bottom) making it extremely clear what’s inside it. The unit was shipped to me in its normal packaging and came through without a scratch.
The physical parts of the pressure washer are skillfully packaged utilizing cardboard spacers and sheets to isolate any motion. This offers additional separation of specific parts, thereby preventing damage in what can be a rough and rugged shipping process.
Prior to I attempted assembly, I laid all the parts out and ensured everything was consisted of. They were.
